We spent 4 nights at Birch Haven in July. It’s in a lovely, quiet, remote location just under 9 miles from Lubec. The cottage is well-equipped and comfortable, surrounded by woods. The pictures are an accurate representation. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the deck, listening to birds, watching squirrels do their thing. We saw deer as we drove in and out of the home and spotted seals in the harbor. Really loved watching the tides come in and out, and smelling the sea. The tidal range was about 20 ft or so this time of year, quite dramatic! Birch Haven is conveniently located to Lubec, Eastport, and Campobello Island. We explored all of that and some of the wonderful Cobscook Shores park trails. We had mostly decent weather, warm and sunny during the day, but cool at night. We had some fog our last full day, which we loved, it made for moody, interesting pictures at Quoddy Head State Park and Lighthouse. It was a very enjoyable break, exploring this part of Maine and Canada. Birch Haven was the perfect place to stay. Jing and Seth checked in with us via text to make sure all was well. I appreciated that.

My fiancee and I had a wonderful stay! The Hosts were very responsive - could not have been better with communication! Their home is on a very quiet, private piece of property with gorgeous water views. Listen to the birds and watch the dramatic tide come and go...perfect spot for some rest and relaxation. Very reasonable drive to 'downtown' Lubec as well as other local destinations: light houses, hikes, beaches, etc. For those who like to cook, the kitchen is well-equipped with spices, dishware and cookware! We would definitely return again and absolutely fell in love with Lubec!

We had a great stay at this property. It was really well stocked, the bed was comfortable, and the deck and view…we didn’t want to leave. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some peace and quiet away from the rat race! Thanks!

Birch Haven was exactly what my husband and I had hoped to find. A beautiful, completely private retreat in the woods on the water. It was very quiet (except for the sounds of nature). The owner was super friendly and responsive. We spent hours on the huge back deck, watching birds, stars, and the tide roll in and out. The house had almost everything we could have needed. We really appreciated the kayaks and muck boots. Beds were super comfortable and it was a pleasant surprise to have access to a piano. Looking forward to coming back some day!

This home was outstanding in ALL aspects. First of all, communication with the host both before we arrived and during our stay was so friendly and heartfelt. She did everything possible to make us feel at home ranging from a welcome gift, to telling us how wonderful it was to spend time on the deck and where to find citronella candles, cushions for the chairs,etc. The kitchen was so well stocked with many appliances, dishes, pots and pans, spices and much food. Jing told us to use any of the food. The view of the water both from the outside and inside large windows was amazing. The beds were comfortable. It was a wonderful time. I highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay at Birch Haven. The deck was our favorite location to read, watch wildlife, and even take a little nap.

The views do not disappoint! We loved hearing and seeing all the birds this location hosts. Communication was top notch throughout the stay. The memory foam mattress was very comfortable and the amenities made every day easy and enjoyable!

We enjoyed our stay at the Birch Haven. The view was beautiful and the birds were so much fun to watch. The house was very clean and stocked with the essentials for our stay. The owners were very informative and responsive. I strongly recommend the Birch Haven for a quiet, peaceful get away.
